from hakodate to sapporo

another old post that didn't get published. i am currently in geneva (again) working on closing a deal, this is most likely for the last time unless we move forward to the next stage. anyhow, another tale of the northern kingdom.

===
you took a shinkansen, you leave a day earlier because you have seen enough of hakodate (函館) - a delightful port city with engagingly trickery old trams, a gentrified harbor district and deservedly famous seafood. but you have done them all in two days, so a day earlier to sapporo (札幌).

the train bound for sapporo calling at many stations that you are so familiar with. onuma national park (大沼国定公園), toya (洞爺), muroran (室蘭), date (伊達市), noburibetsu(登別), and finally reaching sapporo (札幌).


the train journey along the west line brought you through the lake, the sea/ocean, the mountains scenes yet vulnerable.

you feel you are so small in the present of the nature. small because your God the creator of heaven and earth is greater and mighty.

you know that if ever another tsunami struck while you are on the train along the coastal track, you will be gone but that's okay. you have live your purpose here. perhaps you have not done your very best but you are doing your part. where you dwell in the word of God, the world surrounding you just changed complete. you are at peace, the word of God rooted your spirit.
